Ran into a problem trying to move some code from Unix to my Amiga.
The Unix code is defining a string (filename, actually) on the
command line like this:

cc -DSOMESYMBOL -DFILE=\"filename\" yow.c

I'm trying to do this with SAS/C 5.10a (both directly at the
shell and via lmk, Lattice make), and can't get the double-quotes
escaped.  I've skimmed both the AmigaDOS manual and the SAS C
docs and haven't found anything that works.  I'd appreciate the
answer, but even more I'd like a pointer to where this is documented.

Oh yeah, I'm using lower-case -d (-dFILE=...) in lc, as documented.

Thanks,
Brian  <smithey@esosun.css.gov>
